Overview —“ Whiplash, the sixth track on Kill —˜Em All, is a track which feels and sounds quite similar to Hit The Lights, in my opinion, so if you enjoyed Hit The Lights, then you’ll probably enjoy Whiplash as well. In fact, to be honest, there’s actually quite a …

NOTE: Album very explicit. Mature audience only.

Ebin is a song by Sublime which appears on their debut record 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a nice bass line, Nowell comes in with a vocal performance which at first seems more like fast spoken word. Although this didn’t win me over initially, Nowell soon starts …

See now this is Death Metal done right! The drumming is MAD technical, experimental, Jazzy and progressive while still keeping touches of traditional Death Metal(which satisfies those easy to please Death Metal purists). Truly amazing drumming that any drummer would appreciate! There is enough obscure and original drumming on …

I picked this Christmas CD up last year at Barnes and Noble and it has quickly become a favorite! The Brian Setzer Orchestra is like swing music and jive. I love their songs and their spins on classics. For example, I have never been the biggest fan of Angels …

Hangar 18 is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Rust In Peace. I’ll mention right now that if you aren’t really a person who enjoys guitar solos very much, this probably isn’t a track that you’ll enjoy all that much, or at least as much as …

I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …

I purchased the Iida 5-String Banjo in 1974. This particular model is not for beginners but at the same time its not a high end instrument. I’ve used it for 35 years playing it for family, friends, and on stage professionally. The banjo features a heavy mahogany resonator, steel …

Broken, Beat, and Scarred, the third track off of Death Magnetic continues the pattern of songs which sound a lot closer to tracks which Metallica were writing during their earlier days, the 1980s and very early 1990s. Broken, Beat, and Scarred has somewhat of an eastern sound to it …

While this release is being marketed as an electric-blues album, the actual truth is that it’s a bit of a mixture. Across the album Damon Fowler flirts with a few different kinds of blues like swamp blues, delta blues and electric blues, but also adds some honky-tonk country elements …

I was never really a big fan of Mariah Carey’s but after hearing her new songs on the radio and then obtaining her cd I can defintely say she’s one of hip-hop’s M.V.P. Her cd the Emancipation of Mimi was excellent. She really put her haert in this one. …

The first time I heard this young lady’s music was when I was in high school, and as the years have passed I’ve heard almost nothing from her. Thinking about it now, that could have been as a result of one of two reasons or probably both. The first …

Andy Griggs is one of those country music artists that only have a good song every so often. But he really landed a good one with this one. It’s funny though because the girl he describes in this song kind of descibes me. Anyway, in the song he describes …

Overview - Workingman’s Dead, The Grateful Dead’s forth effort, strays extremely far away from the more psychedelic sound that the band developed on Aoxomoxoa and Anthem Of The Sun for a much more folk rock and even country sound. Although there’s a huge change in sound, the band honestly …

When I heard this song, I thought it was a joke. I knew that Pink and her husband Carey Hart were getting a divorce. So when I saw him in the video, I was really shocked. But apparently, the break-up was such that Hart and …

I am not a korean, I am just one of the many filipino fans of the rising star korean girl pop group 2ne1. One reason why I like this group is because of Sandara Park who is now using the name Dara when she joined 2ne1.
